| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovProof positive that even though Robert Mitchum may no longer be with us, film noir continues onward, upward, into the dark. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannBennett's screenplay is consistent, completely concerned with the haphazard and the jogging of conventional expectation. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisOne of the best thrillers Australia's produced |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghIt isn't the first hellbound road movie to end up on a nuclear testing site in the desert (there's always Kalifornia), but Bennett makes you feel as though you haven't seen it before. |
| Nitrate OnlineDan LybargerA clever and lively entry from Australia than introduced the world to Frances O'Connor (A.I.). |
| Film.comJohn HartlIn some ways, it's a remarkable recovery for writer-director Bill Bennett, whose much-tampered-with Sandra Bullock vehicle Two If by Sea was almost unwatchable. |
| User ReviewGypsy Wood AGreat Aussie flick. Loved Matt Day in this he plays my ideal boyfriend. |
| User ReviewCody YIt is criminal that Frances O'Connor is not more well known. The same goes for this film. One of the most brutal and effective opening scenes I can recall. |
| User ReviewChristopher SOff-beat neo-noir from Australia gets off to a strong start with quirky characters and some strange Outback atmosphere. Unfortunately, the plot - which gets off to a fast-paced start with a strong premise - starts to drag by the end, and some of the plot twists stretched credibility. Great performances - it was also interesting to see the cops just as fully developed characters as the criminals. Despite it's flaws, still a very entertaining crime film. |
| User ReviewPost GA great thriller from Australia which plays like Badlands in the Outback. Frances O'Conner is excellent. |
